Good question.
First of all, I'm talking about work, not my personal life. So, no, you may not speculate on what kind of degenerate, misogynistic, low-life I am. Besides, there are already plenty of bottom-feeders who are doing that. No, now that I'm a on-man IT department again, I wear a lot of hats.
Father, I belong to you. I place myself anew in your hands and acknowledge you as Master and Lord of my life. Grant me the gift of a forgiving heart and cleanse me of any anger, hostility, or revenge. Heal my hurts and teach me to rely on your love. Grant me wisdom of heart and strengthen me by your grace to move on in faith, in trust, and in love. Thank you, Lord, for your love in my life.

Yes, it's true!
Oh, how I could have used this at other jobs...
Okay, now, I haven't been writing about it, but I've been wrestling with worms. No, not earth worms, or heart worms or even tape worms. Windows Worms. Well, I guess they're actually "e-mail worms", but I've never heard of one that occurs on any other operating system other than Windows. Unless, of course, you count the infamous Internet, or Morris, Worm. In any case, since most of my workstations are Windows-based, I have worms. Not as many as I did, but it's still something that keeps me awake at night.
Not quite universal, but close.
Ever worry about your cell phone getting stolen? Well, if you have the serial number from it, you can get it turned off quickly and easily and keep the crooks from reenabling it. Here's what to do:
First, entering the sequence * # 0 6 # on your cell phone's keypad will produce a display showing a fifteen-digit code or serial number unique to your phone. Write that down somewhere safe.
Don't laugh, it happens sometimes!
Lately, I've had a lot of externally generated chaos in my life. People doing things that they can morally justify in their own, strange view of the world. Imagined "crimes" I've committed against them making their own bad behavior somehow "justice". It's an interesting thought, really. But, I'm reminded of a quote:
"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
-H.G. Wells
One of my heroes from early on was Abraham Lincoln.
He overcame enourmas difficulties to achieve his life goals and bring a country divided by war together again. One of my favorite quotes from him is:
In times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.
No, kidding! Who would've guessed?
I wasn't going to write an entry this evening.
But, then my dog went and was cute. You see, I just got back from walking her, even though I'd decided not to do that this evening. It's been hot and it looked like rain and, well, frankly, I was just tired tonight. In fact, I decided last night that it was too hot and opted out of our usual walk. But, tonight, Hilda just wouldn't let me alone until I got up off my tired butt and took her for her walk.
After months of begging, H-Town Blogs has added me.
Now, I guess, I'll have to find out more about this strange place you people call "Houston". So, if you see a damn Yankee carpet-bagger wandering around, don't worry, it's just me. No need to hide your money, but I wouldn't hold it against you if you hid your "women folk". In fact, I might even appreciate it these days!
